• Abstract: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is pervasive in both the research and clinical practice of Ophthalmology. However, OCT images are strongly corrupted by noise, limiting their interpretation. Current OCT denoisers leverage assumptions on noise distributions or generate targets for training deep supervised denoisers via averaging of repeat acquisitions. However, recent self-supervised advances allow the training of deep denoising networks using only repeat acquisitions without clean targets as ground truth, reducing the burden of supervised learning. Despite the clear advantages of self-supervised methods, their use is precluded as OCT shows strong structural deformations even between sequential scans of the same subject due to involuntary eye motion. Further, direct nonlinear alignment of repeats induces correlation of the noise between images. In this paper, we propose a joint diffeomorphic template estimation and denoising framework which enables the use of self-supervised denoising for motion deformed repeat acquisitions, without empirically registering their noise realizations. Strong qualitative and quantitative improvements are achieved in denoising OCT images, with generic utility in any imaging modality amenable to multiple exposures.

  Computed Tomography (CT) imposes risk on the patients due to its inherent X-ray radiation. Lowering the radiation dose reduces the health risks but leads to noisier measurements, which decreases the tissue contrast and causes artifacts in CT images. Modern deep learning noise suppression methods alleviate the challenge but require low-noise-high-noise CT image pairs for training. We introduce a new self-supervised approach for CT denoising Noise2NoiseTD-ANM that can be trained without the high-dose CT projection ground truth images.
